Telescope Inks Research Agreement with Standard Lithium

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – July 13, 2022) – Telescope Innovations Corp. (CSE: TELI) (“Telescope” or the “Company“), a chemical technology company, announces that it has signed a Master Service Agreement (“MSA“) with Standard Lithium Ltd. (“SLI“). For the first project under this MSA, Telescope will receive funding for one year to evaluate the utilization and sequestration of CO₂ within the lithium brine extraction and reinjection processes developed by SLI. This project bolsters Telescope’s “Industries” division, which leverages unique lab automation and analytical capabilities to address process and manufacturing challenges in the chemical industry.

Jason Hein, CEO of Telescope, has previously executed successful projects with SLI and is the inventor of its SiFT lithium carbonate crystallization technology. “Telescope is ideally positioned to understand the process chemistry and technology required to integrate CO₂ utilization and sequestration within Standard Lithium’s operations,” he commented. “We are working towards the decarbonization of the lithium supply chain and continuing to strategically deploy Telescope’s tools and expertise across the chemical industry.”

About Standard Lithium

SLI is an innovative technology and lithium development company. SLI’s flagship project is located in southern Arkansas, where it is engaged in testing and proving the commercial viability of lithium extraction from over 150,000 acres of permitted brine operations. The president of SLI, Dr. Andy Robinson, and the CEO, Robert Mintak, are also independent directors of Telescope. However, the MSA is not considered a related party transaction within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions, and has been reviewed and approved by Telescope’s independent directors.
